Study Notes
Patronage Refund Guidelines for Cooperatives
- The Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) released Memorandum Circular No. 2019-09, outlining guidelines for allocating and distributing patronage refunds.
- The legal basis for these guidelines is Article 86 of the Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008 and Rule 10, Section 14 of the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 9520.
- These guidelines apply to all types and categories of cooperatives except cooperative unions.
- Patronage refund is a principle of equity where members equitably share benefits accruing from the cooperative.
- The net surplus is not identified as profit but considered excess payments from the cooperative and returned to members.
- The allocation process begins after allocating statutory funds and interest on share capital.
- At least 30% of the net surplus, after deducting statutory reserves, must be allocated to patronage refund.
- The rate of patronage refund cannot exceed twice the rate of interest on share capital.
- Cooperatives record sales and receipts transactions separately for members and non-members.
- For multi-purpose cooperatives, separate recording of income and expenses for each business activity is required.
- Patronage refund calculation depends on cooperative business activities as reflected in the Statement of Operation.
- The base for determining the patronage refund and who is entitled depends on the type of cooperative business activities.
- The guidelines provide sample computation for patronage refund for multi-purpose cooperatives and individual patrons based on the type of business activity.
- Patronage refund for member patrons with paid-up shares can be credited to their share capital or paid directly depending on the cooperative's by-laws.
- For member patrons with unpaid share capital subscriptions, the refund is credited to their account until the subscription is fully paid.
- Unpaid obligations of member patrons have a portion of the refund credited to their account until the obligation is satisfied.
- Members that have withdrawn or been involuntarily terminated continue to earn interest on unpaid share capital, interest on share capital, and patronage refund until the amount is fully refunded.
- Patronage refund for non-member patrons is set aside in a general fund and allocated upon request, accompanied with evidence of the amount of patronage.
- Non-members who accumulate enough to become members can do so, depending on the bylaws and their request.
- If non-member patrons have accumulated enough for membership but fail to become members, the accumulated amount is added to the reserve fund or education and training fund, at the cooperative's discretion.
- Unclaimed patronage refund for non-members is credited to the reserve fund or education and training fund after notification to the non-member.
- Accounting entries are outlined for patronage refund for members and non-members, including payment, membership, and unclaimed refunds.
- Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in sanctions—including the non-issuance of the Certificate of Compliance (COC) for the following year and potential dissolution of the cooperative for wilful violations.
- Failure to comply with CDA orders regarding these guidelines is an offense punishable by imprisonment or fines.
- The memorandum circular takes effect fifteen days after publication in the Office of the National Administrative Register/Official Gazette.
- The Board of Administrators approved the memorandum circular on July 15, 2019, during their regular meeting in Glan, Sarangani Province.
